pyroclastic

You're about to get vaporized by a pyroclastic avalanche and your first thought is to grab your bling.

Another amazing/frightening statistic is that pyroclastic flows killed people living 30 miles away over open ocean.

There were no plastic hot tubs in Pompeii that burned when the pyroclastic flow swept past.

That's technically not pyroclastic flows - but often just as deadly for a major eruption.

So more like a pyroclastic lehar at speed than a classic explosive volcano cone event.

There was a pyroclastic flow event the last time this volcano erupted (early 1800s), and it killed something like 30 people.

As for safety, it’s not often we need to outrun a pyroclastic cloud/tornado/airplane crashing into your path.

Weirdly if you are going to be hit by a pyroclastic flow then it won’t be moving across your field of view at all.

Evaporation cools the interiorvfor quite a while and the pyroclastic stream is just one trainload of heat and death for maybe half an hour.

Ice age for most things, but we leave the technology buried near an area with high probability of pyroclastic flow.

Picturesque but without the threat of pyroclastic flows killing everything in sight.

This event, from about 25-40 million years ago, produced enough pyroclastic deposits that (if evenly spread) would bury the entire continental US 55 meters deep.

[…] Here we demonstrate that material with glassy appearance found within the skull of a seemingly male human body entombed within the hot pyroclastic flow deposits of the 79 CE Vesuvius eruption formed by a unique process of vitrification of his brain at very high temperature” The layman’s term includes such things as safety glass, which may have polymer layers.
